I really envy (sometimes) the folks who have children with which to share
their cars/hobby. --Being single, and late 40s I have often thought it would
be nice to share working on the car with a son or daughter. --That
presupposes, of course, that they would have any interest whatsoever ! --But
it's a nice, romantic idea.
Since none of my relatives either have an interest in antique cars, nor do
they need the money that would come from selling it, --I have wondered from
time to time what I would do with the car, in my will. I had considered
having it donated to a museum or some such thing, --but never really found a
likely candidate that would keep it, rather than sell it. (I posed the
question to the list once before, and got plenty of offers to take it to solve
the "two children wanting a Healey problem", lol)
...So I still haven't really determined where it will go. --I have however
offered the option to my heirs to give it to a friend of mine who has TR3s.
I don't really worry about the future of our cars, collectively. With constant
rumors of the revival of the nameplate, and the popularity of Miata's Z3s, and
Z4's.... I think there will always be demand for the best looking roadster
ever made.

My boys have been after to tell them which one gets the car. now 10 and
14, this has been going on for 5 years now. They both love it and will
do most any chore to get a ride in it.
I told them my will will state that oldest son gets it year 1, then he
must drive it to younger brother for year 2 then back again every other
year. Unless one buys out the interest from the other, but they will
have to wait for my wife to be done with it.
I figure that way they will see each other at least once a year :)
